My Korean name is Jihoon Choi, if I make my call name J.C would it sound weird ?

Question

I need english name to work, but I am not sure if I can write my innitial as my call name. I don't think it's illegal or anything, but would it sound some what weird ??

Answer 1

Contrary to what Bob Loblaw says, I can guarantee that no "religious fanatic" would be offended (at least, none of the Christian variety - perhaps the atheist religious fanatics would). In fact, I would bet the only people it would make any impression on at all are the atheists, since Christians don't generally call our Lord and Savior "JC" like he was a football player or something. If I met you and you said your name was JC it would not likely even enter my mind that your name was an abbreviation for Jesus Christ, and I'm a "religious fanatic."

In fact, I like that: "JC". It sounds to me like either a football player or possible a big business man. "Here's the numbers on the new plant, JC." I like it.

Answer 2

It wouldn't sound weird, no. JC is fine... but, I don't find a necessarity to change your name. You can just write Ji Hoon Choi.

Answer 3

No, it sounds fine and others certainly use that format.

It's too bad that you can't use your given name, however. Where do you need to work that you absolutely need to change your name to an anglicized version?

Answer 4

Totally agree Gary B. And I say you should go for it!! Sounds cool.

Answer 5

I'd go for John Choi. ---J.C. might offend the religious fanatics.

Answer 6

Why would you have to change your name for work? I wouldn't change my name it's mine and that is it. But, to answer your question JC sounds pretty good

Answer 7

J.C. is commonly used. Many people use initials like D.J., J.T. C.R. I say go for it

Answer 8

No,it sounds cool.

Answer 9

no it wont
